End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller released the following statement congratulating Wendy Davis (TX-21) and Julie Oliver (TX-25) on winning their primaries in Texas:
“Congratulations to Wendy Davis and Julie Oliver. For too long, politicians have been beholden to corporate special interests, but these candidates are leading the charge to make change in Washington by rejecting corporate PAC money and building a movement of small-dollar grassroots donors. Their reform-focused campaigns represent what their voters want: representation that can’t be bought. We look forward to helping them win in November.”
End Citizens United endorsed Wendy Davis and Julie Oliver because of their commitment to fight corruption and making Washington work for Texans. Recently, ECU merged with Let America Vote (LAV) to combat the two biggest threats to our democracy: Big Money and voter suppression. The grassroots reform groups will work together to elect reform champions, pass legislative reforms, and elevate these issues in the national conversation. ECU has more than four million members nationwide and is entirely grassroots-funded with an average donation of just $14.
